Monster HTM 3500 conditioner is noisy
Hexenboden-what issue of TAS is the review? 
It is frustrating.....
Try Miami. I checked the weather today and its 75 and sunny the rest of the week. Michael Tilson Thomas" project for young musicians (I can't think of the name of the orchestra) was, when I lived there, a bunch of up and comers, playing there hear... 
Forget Clapton, Roger Modjeski is god
Prfont-the Cambridge D500SE made me realise something was wrong. I knew the SFL-1 was nearly neutral and Trelja was describing his D500 differently. I recalled Pat McGinty of Meadowlark recommending the RM-10 and read a review of the combination: ... 
Monster HTM 3500 conditioner is noisy
My unit is dead quiet. There must be something wrong. 
Kweifi-about your Sonatas and 2a3 Fi
Rodger Modjeski, the designer of my Music Reference RM-10 amp makes low noise a high priority for driving high efficiency or horn speakers. The RM-10 has an unweighted noise level of .03 mV, for most amps it's 1 to 5 mV. This is obviously importan... 
Speaker placement directly on floor?
You want to spike them to the floor. Probably another member will know a source for spikes but all you need is to go to a hardware store and buy "dowel screws" in the correct thread size. Take the rubber things with you to be sure. Dowel screws ar... 
Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor
There might be a way to go ahead and use spikes or granite or prozac tablets (GOOD ONE, elgordo, but wouldn't that be lithium?) on your wood floors without marring them. Most woodworking adhesives will not bond to a finish. It's S.O.P. in the trad... 
Acoustat "Medallion"
When I upgraded my late, lamented 1+1's with the medallions, there was a logo on the metal covers like a decal that said medallion. Contact member hwdsound (Larry), he'll know more. 
Heavy Metaller needs some class ical .
Deeper in the repertoire are great works for headbangers, Janacek "Sinfonietta", Liszt "Todtentanz", Berlioz Symphonie Funebre et Triomphale", Tchaikovsky "Capriccio Italien" and Boito Prologue To Mefistofele". For Hendrix lovers like me, Tchaikov... 
Speaker stands for PSB Mini s
In aphabetical order, Sound Organisation and Studio Tech. I had the Sound Organisation and they were easy to fill with sand and only cost $100 from dealer. AudioAdvisor has the Studio Tech which I just got for my Mission 733i's for $85. They're go... 
Absolute Sounds 100 best albums
Leonard Cohen still sucks and mom always liked Dick more.AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! 
Which AV receiver to buy??
I'm laughing and typing as I own an Outlaw 1050 and just visited Audioreview to check out the "noisy remote" complaint. I never heard any noise, but then I never held it right to my ear while the backlighting was on until just now. It hums while t... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
What, no Vincent LaGuardia Gambini? 
Hey Trelja........
Sean-just to carify, I briefly auditioned the Complete and NAD but lived with the Parasound for quite awhile. It was the Parasound that I referred to as pleasant more from what it omitted than anything it conveyed. When you listen to "California",... 
Hey Trelja........
I had the Parasound 1000 before acquiring the Cambridge about the same time as Trelja. The Parasound was nice but VERY rolled off in terms of resolution of inner detail and imaging. Some would say that lended an analog-like quality to the Parasoun...
